Description

On December 7, 2020, new IDE has been released. Ref This has been helping users develop various applications using Google Apps Script with the new IDE very much. When it develops scripts and applications using Google Apps Script with the new IDE, it is considered that the existence of JSDoc in the script will be helpful for both the developers and the client users, because it is reflected in the auto-completion. However, when I tried to add the built-in Class objects of Google Apps Script for returning an object using JSDoc, unfortunately, I’m worried that the detailed official documents related to JSDoc for Google Apps Script are few. Ref and Ref In this report, I would like to introduce a method for adding JSDoc for using auto-completion of the built-in Class objects to functions of Google Apps Script.

Introduction

Recently, the LLM model Gemini has been released and is now available as an API on Vertex AI and Google AI Studio. Ref and Ref This report presents a simple Google Apps Script example for automatically creating descriptions of files on Google Drive using the Gemini Pro API. It is considered that when the description of files on Google Drive can be easily created, it will help users manage a lot of files.

Recently, when Drive API is enabled at Advanced Google services with the script editor, Drive API v3 is automatically used. In the official document, Drive API v3 has already been used. Ref In the current stage, the users can select V3 and V2.

When Drive API v3 is used with Advanced Google services, the following advantages can be considered.

1. Drive API v3 can be used with only the scopes for Drive API without adding a scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.external_request.
2. The files and folders can be searched by the search query of createdTime. Ref
